The engineer designed the walls with redi-mix \nconcrete in the MaxumStone hollow cores and at varying depths behind \nthe walls to create the necessary mass. Double-sided MaxumStone blocks \nwere used on the top course of the main wall to provide a \nbarrier\/parapet since the wall is in a loading dock area. The safety \nfence was installed directly in the hollow cores of the MaxumStone \nblocks. Custom caps were manufactured for the main wall. The contractor \nhad to build inside corners, outside corners and various tangent angles \nto keep the walls in alignment with the site plans. The cheek walls for \nthe steps were quite challenging because the wall batter had to be \ncalculated and blocks needed to be sawcut on angles to accommodate the \ncast in place stairs. The end result is a set of very structurally sound\n walls that provide access to the parking lot, a loading dock and a \nprotected area for the generator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
